Snow Bunting and Woodcocks

This morning, Gustav and Robbie went observing with Knud. The highlights of the observations were an Arctic Skua (Almindelig Kjove), a Little Gull (Dværgmåge), and the first Purple Sandpiper (Sortgrå Ryle) for Gustav! They also set up the whoosh net and at the end of the observations, 55 Snow Buntings (Snespurv) went close to the nest and they finally caught one! I hope we will catch more soon! They also saw a Serin (Gulirisk) which is quite late for the season.

Rosalina and I, did a few daily tasks at home like sewing the nests in the attic and analyzing a night recording for me. I already found many Redwings (Vindrossel) migrating above Skagen and some resident Blackbirds (Solsort).

This afternoon we all cleaned before going night catching with Simon in different areas. We saw 14 Woodcocks (Skovsneppe) and finally caught three of them! I was really glad to ring one of them.

Michael was out, ringing at Jennes Sø as well.

We also said goodbye to Lisa and Georges today, have a good trip and thank you for all the good moments!
